What do you mean, it's time to rebel?
If you want to participate in NaNoWriMo but don't want to start in on a brand-new novel, you can participate as a Rebel. I'm still trying to get to 50,000 words before the end of November, but it'll be between two projects: the Chosen Grandma, which will only get 1500 new words a week, and the story formerly known as The Book Man, which is getting rewritten/revised.
project numero uno: the chosen grandma story
Life at the nursing home sure is dull - until a wizard shows up to tell eighty-three-year-old Edna Fisher she's the Chosen One, destined to defeat evil sorcerer Redway. With the help of her loyal orderly, a rogue teenager, and a grumpy cat, Edna faces dragons, skepticism, irritating wizards, bad directions, and technology.
Knitting needles? Check. Cane? Check. Fate of the world? Bring it on.
Since I'm also participating in LMS, I'll continue working on this story at my usual pace of 1500 words a week. My goal is to have the latest installment done by Tuesday night during the month of November so that I'll have the rest of the week to work on my other project.
project the second: the secret of celadon park
Long after sundown, an injured balloon artist knocks on Christian Abernathy's door. Across town, Liza Smith discovers her husband missing. And in Celadon Park, an ancient beast from another world breaks free of the spell imprisoning him.
I've been attempting to finish the latest draft of this story since...??????? I don't even remember at this point. The last time I seriously worked on it was during Camp NaNo, but I didn't make it to the end. So that's my goal for this month.
And then, once this draft is done, I'm going to put the darned thing away for a good long while, because I've been working on it just about nonstop since the start of 2013 and I need a break. How else am I supposed to come back to the table with fresh eyes, right?
